Verse 1:
90's was the shit not saying that cuz I was a 90's kid
80's I gotta admit it, Jackson and Jordan was killin' it back when
70's was tragic man cuz the U.S. got dicked down by Nixon
60's did it big, cuz they made do what it did
I know what it is,
Now imma simple man just gettin' to his paper
Likely won't see it, like no sign off on reparations
Just another one sticking to the cadence
To be real, there were never feelings ever reciprocated
To the fake hoes that ain't never seen the the vision
No sympathy for them niggas that couldn't think deep, post incision
Like a surgery, you listen to every nigga with a chain
But...
I know won't notice me (*2)
Hook:
I remember being trill and posted on walls
I remember running up minutes on cellphone calls
Was FairlyOdd while doin' it all
Was a complete Square while doin' it all
If you told me this music had cost
I'd say I just wanna play the odds
Ahhha
I couldn't wait for it all (*2)
Now I can't let this weigh on my soul
Verse 2:
Came to a fake city with real dreams
In the quake city where they deal trees
Came to it far from top notch
This pandemic got my niggas on suicide watch
Left my niggas out here just fighting the odds
For some odd centuries, with some odd energies
Tact on with memories, just to live with these f*cked up boundaries
With the f*cked up ways, with these f*cked up days
I knows my mama be prayin'
For the day we'll equal in the nation
Damn well these feelings were never reciprocated
To ones that sacrificed the most to the nation
Be Killin' me how they be leavin' us dead or on the pavement
Just to have an officer suspended or on vacation
This was happening before I was overly dedicated
Like K- Dot, i'm an Average Joe just trying to figure out How Much a Dollar (Really) Cost
(How Much a Dollar Cost)
Hook 2:
I remember the world and listening to Cole
I remember K-Dot's verse on Control
Toon Disney and homework I did it all
Fancied all the work while doing it all
If you told me this music had cost
I'd say I just wanna play the odds
Ahhha
I couldn't wait for it all (*2)
Bridge:
It's funny how I developed complacency
It's funny how unsatisfied we be
Over the thangs that is most simple
That and the parts of the trouble we tend to get into
It's was never that simple
We are the ones that were chosen
Thogh often broken
This music stay bae, no water to put rose in
Got serious on my craft
That's why I stopped all the postin' (*2)
Hook 3:
I remember playing with cousins and writing on walls
I remember field trips and thinkin' 'bout fall
Had Played Playstion while doing it all
Had played Nintendo while doing it all
Played Brawl and never thought of the cause
Of if my folks and fam I had lost
Ahhhaaa
I couldn't wait for it all
But I can't let this weigh on my soul
